"You Are the Reason"(2017)- Calum Scott acoustic cover by Steve

"You Are the Reason" is a song by English singer Calum Scott. It was released on November 17, 2017 via Capitol Records, as his 2nd original single from his debut album, Only Human. This emotionally resonant piano ballad was written by Scott, Jon Maguire and Corey James Sanders. The song has been streamed over one billion times, and has sold over 5 million copies worldwide. The music video, which has been viewed over 1 billion times, was filmed primarily in Kyiv, Ukraine, with real shots of Budapest locations. A duet version with Leona Lewis charted internationally, and achieved over 213 million streams on Spotify, with its music video surpassing over 1 billion views on You Tube! I have loved this song since it first came out, but have never attempted to cover it because of the extreme high vocals that Calum achieves. Here goes my best shot at as intimate of a rendition that I can play.Thanks very much for listening and hope you enjoy my version of this beautiful song. Kindest regards, Steve

A very nice melody, I didn't know the song before. Which guitar do you play? It's probably not the P6N or is it? Liebe Grüße nach Kalifornien von Horst
